Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Tripura on September 22 to inaugurate the newly completed beautification and reconstruction works of the historic Mata Tripura Sundari Temple in Gomati district. The temple, known as one of the holiest sites in Eastern India, has undergone a major facelift under the PRASAD (Pilgrimage Rejuvenation and Spiritual Augmentation Drive) scheme. This project, which began after the BJP government came into power in the state, is now nearing completion.
The Central government provided approximately Rs 38 crore for the renovation under the PRASAD scheme, with an additional Rs 7 crore contributed by the State Government. This investment aims to enhance the spiritual tourism sector and solidify Tripura’s position as an emerging tourist destination.
In preparation for the Prime Minister’s visit, top officials such as Chief Secretary Kiran Gitte, Principal Secretary Abhishek Singh, DGP Anurag, IG (Law & Order) Manchak Ipper, Tourism Secretary U.K. Chakma, and other senior officers visited the temple on Saturday to review the arrangements. The visit is expected to draw significant attention to the completed renovations and highlight the importance of preserving and promoting India’s cultural and religious heritage.
